Oddsmakers list Chargers as a suitor for Richard Sherman

The Seahawks made the decision to move on from cornerback Richard Sherman on Friday. The 29-year old is coming off an Achilles injury but is expected to be one of the most highly targeted players on the free agent market after a sterling seven seasons in Seattle.

Immediately following the news regarding Sherman’s release, the odds were put out on where the talented CB will land in 2018, per Bookmaker.eu.

With Richard Sherman on his way out of Seattle @bookmaker_eu has released odds on where he'll play next season:

The Chargers possess the fourth-best odds to acquire the veteran CB at +600, behind only the Raiders (+550), Bears (+400) and Patriots (+350).

Sherman would be an ideal fit for Los Angeles’ defense as he would be able to reunite with his former defensive coordinator, Gus Bradley, and provide yet another talented player in their secondary.

The Compton native is determined to come back with a vengeance. While it sounds good on paper, bringing Sherman into an already crowded cornerback group wouldn’t be the most ideal situation unless he chose to take quite a hefty pay cut from the terms that he has grown accustomed to in recent years.

Since entering the league in 2011, Sherman has been one of the NFL’s best at the position. In seven seasons with Seattle, he has recorded 367 tackles, 104 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, 32 interceptions and one sack.
